2010 Bridge of The Gods Kite Festival website is up at: www.botgkitefest.com Tried to use dabridge.us but having trouble with domain registration, transferring, etc... We'll get it back and redirect to the site above but it will be a few days.
Carol is still working on updating the sponsors list, needs to add the camping info, pics, etc... but it's coming along. I'll post again in a couple of days after she gets the next update done.
Sure, it's gonna be chilly at this years event - but so what! It's time to kite! Only 4 weekends away!!! It might even feel like summer by then.
Still looking for sponsors, swag, and volunteers. Sponsor request details below:
11th Annual Bridge of the Gods Kiteboarding Festival
June 18 - 19, 2010
East Point - Stevenson, Washington
Longest running Amateur Kiteboarding Event in North America
Sponsor Solicitation
The Bridge of The Gods Kiteboarding Festival is seeking advertisements, sponsors and gear donations for this year’s event, June 18th and 19th, in Stevenson, Washington. BOTG is the longest running amateur kiteboarding event in North America and has been the springboard for launching many amateurs into the ranks of the pro’s. Hosted each year at East Point in Stevenson this event provides excellent spectator viewing and photo opportunities, drawing participants and spectators from all across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
The festival has events for:
• Groms (10 and under)
• Juniors (11 to 16)
• Men
• Women
• Masters (40+)
• Past BOTG Winners / Pro / Semi-Pro / Team Riders (Friday afternoon)
• Photo / Video Contents
• SUP Racing (if no wind)
There is a beer garden, food and drink vendors, and open lawn seating. There is also a group campout and pot luck planned for the out of town folks at the Skamania County Fairgrounds.
To be direct and to the point: We need your help to make this event a success. In past years the event has been primarily funded, staffed and sponsored by Slingshot Sports but due to a number of reasons they need to dial back their level of participation. As this is an Amateur event open to all riders and all brands we are actively approaching each of the major manufacturers, local shops and schools, and other vendors in order to increase participation and prevent one brand from having to carry the entire load. We would much rather receive $500 each from 7 or 8 vendors than try to get one vendor to contribute $4,000.
What we are requesting:
• Gold Level Sponsorship - $500 or equivalent value of gear (kites, or boards, or harness, or bar, etc…) for the winners prize pool
o Name Listed on the website
o Name prominently displayed on the Sponsor Board
o Name announced at least 4 times per hour
o Free entry for one Pro / Team Rider
o Banana flags or banners displayed along the walkway
• Silver Level Sponsorship - $250 or equivalent value of gear gear (kites, or boards, or harness, or bar, etc…) for the winners prize pool
o Name Listed on the website
o Name prominently displayed on the Sponsor Board
o Name announced at least 4 times per hour
o Banana flags or banners displayed along the walkway
• Bronze Level Sponsorhip - $100 or equivalent value of gear (kites, or boards, or harness, or bar, etc…) for the winners prize pool
o Name Listed on the website
o Name displayed on the Sponsor Board
o Name announced at least 2 times per hour
